Topics regarding layoffs at Albertsons

5 Day RTO in January

Overheard in NorCal office this morning. 5 Day RTO sometime in January of next year, apparently all but confirmed, exact date TBD. Doubt it comes up this Friday during Quarter Town Hall.

Just Safeway?

I just saw an article posted here that says these layoffs will be primarily Safeway staff. Does that mean the rest of us are safe?

Phase 2 of layoffs.

Probably in hundreds. Everything going to Manila . So much for Making America Great Again….

Get ready for Feb 22

From what I understand in total over 400 employees will be fires again on Feb 22. News article here: https://www.supermarketnews.com/store-closings/safeway-to-cut-nearly-400-corporate-positions

Layoffs are apparently not over

Over 200 people lost their jobs in Phoenix last week. So I guess it’s not over yet. If you have been hearing anything or have some substantiated information, please share. It’s better to be somewhat prepared.

I share the sentiment of many who were laid off

I feel liberated. That feeling has overtaken anxiety over the future. I wish for all of us to do well in whatever comes next. And I wish good luck to those still at Albertsons who were good colleagues and are good people. As for the rest - I don’t... — read more

I am so happy I was part of the layoff!

The culture at Albertsons is terrible. Leadership was completely missing during the merger years. Middle management and directors became abusive and toxic. Micromanagement, lack of vision, deceipt, racism, s-xism... you name it. All of... — read more

Increased workload

Now we’ll have to pick up the work after all the people who were let go. That’s the moment when you definitely start regretting you were not among those laid off…

When's your last day?

I heard that some people were just let go. I have to work until 2/21/25 to get my severance. Have you been laid off and were told to just go home? Are you getting the entire 60 days off with pay? Not fair if that's the case, just saying

Lack of transparency

Layoffs are bad; keeping us in the dark is only making it worse. This could have been handled much better.

Who made the list for layoffs?

I think if anybody deserves to be kicked out it's that person or persons. The choice of people who were laid off is shocking in how wrong it is. Some excellent people are gone, people who've been here for decades and who have invaluable experience... — read more 

Where is management??

So, every minute of this week we are learning more and more that more and more colleagues are being laid off. So far I have not seen ANY formal message from management on this. Not a peep. No 'town hall' to at least tell us a bit more and what the... — read more

I’m so sorry for everyone affected

For some of us, it might be a relief, but for most, it's a hard blow. Times are tough, and it’s not easy to find something else. We all are worried because of the financial obligations and the high cost of living. I hope for all of us to land on our... — read more 

Acquisition blocked

A federal judge blocked Kroger Co.’s $24.6 billion acquisition of Albertsons Cos., finding the takeover would lessen competition for US grocery shoppers, in a ruling that marks a likely death knell for the deal. In a decision filed Tuesday, US... — read more
